Abstract

Building on effectuation theory, this paper investigates the role of entrepreneurial autonomy in driving emerging market SMEs' internationalization. Based on insights from multiple case studies and archival data from emerging market SMEs, this study finds that employees lack autonomy in their duties. A developed model also helps us to clarify how effectuation decision-making—balancing partnership and pre-commitment, opportunity exploitation and investment ceiling, business development with emerging opportunities and exploiting resources and capabilities, flexibility, proactiveness toward waste reduction—strengthen concentration of autonomy in top management. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are presented.

创业自主性总是推动新兴市场中小企业国际化的动力吗?效果逻辑视角
本文以效应理论为基础,探讨了企业家自主权在推动新兴市场中小企业国际化中的作用。基于从多个案例研究和新兴市场中小企业档案数据中获得的启示,本研究发现,员工在履行职责时缺乏自主权。建立的模型还帮助我们阐明了效果决策--平衡伙伴关系与预先承诺、机会开发与投资上限、利用新兴机会发展业务与开发资源和能力、灵活性、主动减少浪费--如何加强高层管理者的自主权。本文阐述了研究结果的理论和管理意义。
